Introduction on January 23 at 3 pm by author and teacher Brenda Austin Smith.
In 1962, legendary directors Alfred Hitchcock and Francois Truffaut locked themselves away at Universal Studios in Hollywood for a week to talk about movies. Out of those interviews came the famous book of film appreciation Hitchcock/Truffaut first published in 1966. That book is the inspiration for this enchanting new documentary pulled from over 27 hours of the original audio recordings. We learn many hidden secrets about the “master of suspense” from some of today’s leading filmmakers including Richard Linklater, Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Wes Anderson, Olivier Assayas, Peter Bogdanovich and Paul Schrader. For example both Truffaut and Hitchcock had terrifying formative experiences in prison in their early childhood thus influencing their later film works. With great film excerpts from masterpieces such as Vertigo and Psycho, Hitchcock/Tuffaut is a great primer for anyone who loves the films of Hitchcock.
A must see.
